The Harp of New Albion

by Terry Riley

The Harp of New Albion cover art

Performed entirely on a piano custom-tuned to just intonation, this expansive double album finds the minimalist pioneer blurring the lines between structured composition and raga-inspired improvisation. The microtonal tuning generates an incredibly hypnotic, shimmering resonance, creating a mysterious and deeply spiritual acoustic soundscape.
